My first job was for a car dealership, I set up an account. The last guy "Pathedic Medics" was doing there repairs. I told them I would beat there cost. I am charging $20.00 per repair. I only charge that price for repeat business. I WILL :eusa_clap usually charge at least $45.00 PER REPAIR.

It will be hard to make it for $20.00 a repair.

You won't last at $20 a repair.. Insurance runs $300 a year liability, you've got gas, and vehicle maintenence, and car insurance, supplies, phone costs, web site costs etc.. And you are thinking, "hmmm, the other guys charge more than I do, I'll go in cheap and steal the work" LOL Dealerships are'nt stupid, they'll use you, run you ragged and your low ball cut throat pricing won't mean a thing down the road.. They want loyalty, quality, and someone that knows what his services are worth.. Meanwhile, yeah.. Your're getting a couple here and there, but the guys that have been servicing them for years are cleaning up and they are'nt doing it for $20.. They got a name for you curb jumpers in Philly, oh yeah "whore"..
